Spectacle with Jean-François Pignon

In honour of the 25th edition of Jumping Indoor Maastricht the organisation will present a spectacular show to celebrate this jubilee. The world famous Frenchman Jean-François Pignon and his horses will daily guarantee a lot of spectacle during JIM.

In his breathtaking show Jean-François achieves the maximum of trust between horse and man. In the equestrian world Jean-François is known as ‘horse whisperer’, because his beautiful greys do whatever the artist asks them to do without any force.

When Jean-François was a young boy his father brought home a one-year-old filly.They immediately had an extra-ordinary bond. Every day they played for hours and they even went to school together. Jean-François learned to work with horses in a natural way. He made it his profession and offered himself as a circus rider and equestrian stuntman. He performed several riding scenes is the movie Wilhelm Tell. In 1991 he launched an unprecedented show with eight horses without tack and it was a success instantly. In 2013 he won the Silver Clown at the International Circus Festival of Monte Carlo.

Pignon will be performing during JIM on Friday evening, Saturday afternoon and evening and on Sunday morning and afternoon.
